Role of Carbon Sequestration to Mitigate the Global Environmental Changes
Published: 2024-11-20

Abstract

The process of absorbing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide in order to slow down global warming and climate change is known as carbon sequestration. Carbon pools are another name for carbon reservoirs or storages. It may be caused by humans or by nature. The growing quantity of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere is decreased by the carbon sequestration process. The cultivation of crops, the creation of forests and public parks and gardens, and the use of biotechnological techniques to modify genes in order to obtain efficient genes that can significantly lower the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. More carbon dioxide can be absorbed from the atmosphere and global warming can be lessened with the use of biotechnological technologies for gene modification. This technology makes it simple for plants to absorb more carbon, which will contribute to an increase in plant biomass. Additionally, it aids in lowering poverty in the communities where these projects are implemented. Millions of people can profit from forestry projects on a social, economic, and local environmental level. The sole noteworthy advantage of improving carbon storage in the soil organic material is the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.
